Nathan Wade's lawyer told the House judiciary chairman that he is like a skunk who complains about a possum's smell.

Fani Willis’ lawyer has told House Judiciary Committee chairman, Jim Jordan, to calm down and take an anger management class.

The letter also suggests that Jordan, a Republican and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, was as hypocritical as a skunk who tells a possum that his breath stinks.

Willis is prosecuting Trump on felony charges of attempting to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to President Joe Biden. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has repeatedly said the case is part of a political witch hunt to derail his bid for the White House next month.

    “I am just a country lawyer, unaware of the ways of Washington, D.C., but I must comment on your statements regarding obedience to subpoenas lawfully issued by committees of Congress,” Barnes added, while highlighting what he claimed was Jordan’s hypocrisy.

    “I notice that you were issued with a subpoena of the committee of Congress, which investigated the January 6 insurrection against the government of the United States of America. You failed to appear before that committee. I therefore find your protestations regarding a normal citizen obeying subpoenaed to be somewhat hollow,” Barnes wrote.

    lmao got 'em. Seriously, though, how in the hell did Jim Jordan never end up in jail for pulling that crap. I’m getting really sick of the rules never applying to Republicans.

      Oh man I love the “I’m just a country lawyer…” bit… Made me think that it was literally a quote from Futurama at first lol.

      Then made me think of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer,

      Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I’m just a Caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me.
